We arrived at 10pm on a Sunday evening and were greeted in the lobby with a complimentary drink,I think it was Angel Delight in a champagne glass so we had a taste and were directed to our room. We had a night... More

Whilst it looks big and glossy with 3 pools etc, I felt it didn’t live up to its reputation or appearance. First the good: Great facilities for kids (I'm sure most families would have a ball). A fair choice of restaurants. A big breakfast buffet with a fairly large choice of foods. Our room was quiet The two double beds... More

From the welcome to the lovely clean cool room the Merlin was lovely. We were in a different building this time looking over the quiet pool, which was a bit of... More

I'll get the cons out of the way first! First thing is the most of the staff have terrible English, there is maybe 1 in 6 that can actually understand what you are saying without having to repeat yourself numerous times. Second thing is the food is a little bit on the pricey side of things compared to in patong.... More

Merlin resort is certainly a great place to stop and stay in Phuket away from the hustle and bustle... Don't be put off by the renovating going on currently still has its advantages the changes in the last few years have not distracted from the location of this resort... Still one of the best

Recently returned fom Thailand and would highly recommend the Merlin Beach. A bit out of the way but service was excellent,a choice of 3 big and inviting pools and rooms met our every expectation.Only negative the pool bar cocktails were full of ice and not good value.
